True un-restored and uncut 1966 Ford Bronco Roadster, U13 vin code.  Built in October, 1965.  Bought from original owner's son in 1994 in Charlotte, NC.  76,000 original miles; original engine rebuilt in 1999 but less than 1,000 miles since then.  Has been in storage since 2000, driven occasionally until 2006.  Pulled out of storage last year, taken to the mechanic for a complete check-up, new tires, and then detailed.


To the best of my knowledge, the Bronco has never been wrecked.  I've certainly never wrecked it, and I was told when I bought it that it had never even been in a fender bender.  The gas tank leaks when full.

New high-quality, custom-made seat covers (front buckets and rear bench) to match the original factory spec vinyl, including gray color (only color available on the '66 models) and texture, installed in 2000.  Not sure if the paint is original (it's not been painted since I've had it) but is in very good condition.  Small, slight bubble rust under paint in one place on front right quarter panel, near bumper (see picture).  Slight surface rust on original floor pans; slight surface rust on the original bumpers.  When I say "surface", I mean surface.

Just had all fluids changed, new tires (235/75R15 Goodyear radials), new battery, new brakes, rebuilt master cylinder, new right front brake cylinder, new front axle seals, points, rotor, exhaust gasket, manifold re-surfaced, and carb completely rebuilt.  Pull to the right when breaking hard, but I've yet to see an old Bronco that did not do this.

Less than 5,000 Roadsters were produced by Ford.  How many are still around?  And how many are still around in this condition...uncut, unmolested, and un-restored?  My guess is less than five.

Features:
  • --original number-matching 170cid straight 6 engine
  • --original 1-barrel carburetor
  • --original lock-out hubs (rebuilt 1995) on the 4-wheel drive front axle
  • --original oil bath air filter
  • --original vacuum windshield wipers
  • --original hub caps, plus 4 extra rear caps (unique to '66--not sold on pickups or any other vehicles)
  • --original straight-end bumpers (unique to '66 and '67 models)
  • --original driver side mirror (unique to early Roadsters, not an after-market one)
  • --original "pencil" dash pad, with no cracks (unique to '66 and '67 models)
  • --original eyebrow grill (only found on early production '66s)
  • --original FOMOCO washer fluid bag
  • --original 3-on-the-tree 3.03 manual transmission
  • --original long-throw 4-wheel drive transfer case control stick with round ball head (only found on early production '66s)
  • --original rubber transfer case boot (unique to '66 models)
  • --original rear bench seat, loved by my kids when they were little
  • --original black arm rests on rear bench seat (unique to '66 models)
  • --original 15-inch wheels, including the spare
  • --original rear tail light lenses (no "clear" reverse section; unique to '66 models)
  • --original FOMOCO tail hitch
  • --original fold-down windshield (hinged to fold flat on top of the hood, with a pin hitch to hold it in place)
  • --original skid plate protecting the transfer case

2015 Ford Edge holds line on pricing, starts at $28,100*

Tue, 04 Nov 2014

The Ford Edge gets an updated platform, bolder styling and a standard 2.0-liter turbocharged EcoBoost engine pumping out 245 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque for the 2015 model year. You might expect that all those new features would result in a big price bump, but you'd be wrong. Ford is keeping costs identical to the 2014 model with a starting MSRP of $28,100 (*plus an $895 destination charge), according to Edmunds. Ford spokesperson William Mattiace confirmed the numbers to Autoblog.
That's a pretty good deal, but the real ticket here might be the model's Sport trim. Buyers get a 2.7-liter, twin-turbocharged V6 EcoBoost engine with over 300 horsepower and standard adaptive steering for $28,600 plus destination. That's just $500 more than the base model.
Pricing for the Titanium trim has not yet been announced, but it'll be a short wait to find out. Mattiace tells Autoblog that full pricing and the configuration for the model will launch on November 5. He has also confirmed that the 2015 Edge will begin hitting dealers in the first quarter of 2015.

Farley reacts as UAW expands strike against Ford, GM

Fri, Sep 29 2023

Members of the United Auto Worker union walk out of the Chicago Ford Assembly Plant as Lance Williams from Lansing, Ill., waves the UAW flag Friday. (AP)   As the United Auto Workers walk off the job at an additional Ford and General Motors plant, Ford CEO Jim Farley addressed investors and members of the media Friday, pleading the case for the company's latest overture to the union and addressing both public and investor concerns regarding the core issues facing American manufacturing.  Farley made a public case for Ford's efforts to resolve the dispute, expressing frustration with the ongoing stalemate and noting both the concessions Ford offered before the strike began and the signing of a contract with Canada's Unifor. Farley also acknowledged UAW President Shawn Fain's success in getting the union's message out, quipping: "Shawn has been on TV more than Jake from State Farm at this point." The first-ever simultaneous strike against the Detroit Three automakers enters its third week with threats of continued expansion, but little in the way of obvious concrete progress.  "If the UAW’s goal is a record contract, they have already achieved this," Farley said. "It is grossly irresponsible to escalate these strikes and hurt thousands of families." Farley also lamented the fact that EVs have become the subject of partisan conflict, with the company's recently announced battery production facilities taking heat from both pundits and investors as Ford was forced to press pause on the venture while negotiations continue. Former President Donald Trump dropped in to Michigan this week to declare EVs the enemy of blue-collar jobs. "They've become a political football, and that's a shame," he said. Friday saw an expansion of the UAW strike to Ford's Chicago assembly plant and GM's Lansing, Delta Township, Michigan, assembly plant, covering about 7,000 workers, Fain said in an announcement, bringing the total number of workers on the picket lines to 25,000. The strike will not include any additional members at Stellantis, where talks have reportedly been more productive. The Ford and GM plants went on strike at noon Eastern today (Friday). Ford builds the Explorer and Lincoln Aviator in Chicago. GM's Delta Township plant builds Chevy Traverse and Buick Enclave. "Despite our willingness to bargain, Ford and GM have refused to make meaningful progress," Fain said in a video address Friday morning.
